About 'Ulu
BREADFRUIT, known as 'Ulu, is an ancient Polynesian crop that was a main food staple for all the people of the Pacific islands. The multipurpose 'Ulu trees provide food, fiber, timber and medicine. Native Hawaiians traditionally used it along with taro and sweet potato as one of the three most nutritious crops.
Breadfruit is an energy-rich food and a good source of complex carbohydrates, fiber and minerals such as potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, manganese and zinc. This nutritious food also provides B-Vitamin, niacin, thiamine and Vitamin C.
Some varieties also have high levels of pro-vitamin A and carotenoids which are all nutrients essential to good health. Breadfruit is gluten-free.
Kaua'i Breadfruit uses the Ma'afala variety of the mature breadfruit to be dried and ground into flour. Resulting in a super fine ground light-colored, high-quality flour to be used in so many culinary possibilities. Use it for baking, breading, thickening of sauces, smoothies and more.
